Rockets do Hezbollah atingem Nazaré

Hezbollah rocket attacks on the northern town of Nazareth killed two Israeli Arab children, brothers aged 3 and 9, on Wednesday afternoon, bringing to 15 the death toll from rocket strikes since the crisis in Lebanon began a week ago.

Another 12 people sustained light wounds in the attack, and were evacuated to the Italian Hospital in the town.

The two siblings, Rabia Abed Taluzi and his older brother Mahmoud, were killed by a direct hit from a rocket while playing in the yard of their family's home, the Israel Defense Forces said. It was the first time the town had been attacked.
